Today’s Tip:
do more metronome work
Pulse and rhythm are not the same thing. Pulse is the heartbeat of music and continues through time. Rhythm is the placement of sound and silence within time. A metronome can help you improve your understanding of both. “The metronome’s unrelenting honesty magnifies and shines a harsh light on what we know and don’t know in the music. The metronome can be a true friend that helps us improve our inner pulse and play with rhythmic accuracy to become better musicians,” says harpist and teacher Kela Walton.
